Duncan great, but kids, girlfriend nearly steal show

SAN ANTONIO — It was great seeing Tim Duncan, who’s known to be more poker-faced than full of personality, laughing, joking and getting ribbed a bit by David Letterman on the CBS late show Tuesday night.

The five-time NBA champ spoke about his decision to keep going with the Spurs “at least one more year,” what he might do post-basketball and, of course, that memorable night during the Finals in San Antonio, when the air-conditioning went out.

However, as it tends to happen, a couple of kids — Duncan’s two young charmers — nearly stole the show when the cameras captured their adorable faces, not once but twice, mugging in the green room, alongside the Spur’s ebullient girlfriend Vanessa Macias.

Those kids — daughter Sydney and son Draven — also sparked a fun exchange between Duncan and Letterman.

Dave wanted to know how the kids were affected during the pressure of playoff season — whether there was more “tension in the house.”

“Whenever they’re there,” Tim responded, “I try to turn off and just be Dad.”

It’s still difficult, he added, because “I just get focused and I’m not very personable.”

On the air-conditioning going out and the Spurs getting a win against Miami: “Who was responsible for that,” Dave wondered, “Popovich?”

On whether he considered retirement: “Did you think about, ‘Well, maybe I’ll announce my retirement after when we win the fifth?’ ” Letterman asked. “I did, I did,” Duncan replied. “I thought about maybe calling it a year and calling it a career … but I felt I could at least do one more year. I felt I was still effective. I felt I could still play and help the team.”

On trying another career post-NBA: “And let’s just say now one day you do decide to stop playing,” Letterman asked. “What do you see yourself as doing? You’re a father, of course. That’s a huge job. But what would you like to do after the playing is finished?”

“You know what, honestly, I have no idea,” Duncan said. “Pop keeps talking to me about coaching or being around basketball. I’m not sold on that yet. I love cars and I have a car shop and I mess with that a little bit.”

Letterman then wondered if the travel was “the toughest part of the game.” “Yeah, well, we’re taken care of,” Duncan said with an impish grin. “We travel pretty well, but the schedule’s a grind. It is a grind, but it’s something you get used to.”

“This is great,” Letterman joked. “You know what this guy did here? He just said … and he adheres to the theory … ‘No whining on the yacht.’ ”
